Hannah
Join Knox and Jamie along with Resident Bible Scholar Erin Moon as we discuss that bitter cryer who just wanted a baby, Hannah. Along the way, you’ll hear conversations about negotiating with God, double portions of fried rice, and some quality needlepoint ideas. Did the tabernacle have the aesthetic of an Arby’s? What’s the deal with calling God the Lord of Heaven’s armies? You’ll have to listen to find out!
